World Salt Awareness Week may be coming to an end, but it's important to watch our sodium intake year-round. And that doesn't just mean keeping your hands off the salt shaker — nearly 75 percent of Americans' sodium comes from added salt in processed and restaurant foods, according to the American Heart Association. Eating too much salt forces your heart to work harder and increases your blood pressure. It can also put you at a higher risk for heart disease, heart failure, stomach cancer, kidney disease, stroke, and osteoporosis.

The 10 types of food on the list below are responsible for more than 40 percent of all the sodium we eat in a given day, according to the CDC. Sound exaggerated? Consider this: That egg and cheese sandwich you had for breakfast? 760 mg. The veggie soup and sandwich lunch combo that had you feeling pretty healthy? A whopping 1,450 mg. By the time you add in your spaghetti dinner and some snacks, you've easily gone over 3,000 mg.
